                <pubDate>Mon, 23 Apr 2012</pubDate>
                <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>For More Information Contact:</strong><br />
Blausen: Mike Hensgen (<a href="mailto:mhensgen@blausen.com">mhensgen@blausen.com</a>) 713-334-6722)</br></p>

<p>New app specifically designed for use with A&P textbooks from leading authors: Martini, Saladin, Tortora, Marieb and Seeley-Stephens-Tate.</p>

<p>HOUSTON (April 23, 2012) - <a href="http://blausen.com/">Blausen Medical</a>, developer and owner of the world's largest library of 3D medical animations, has announced its new <a href="http://bit.ly/HTdTpm"target="_blank"><strong>A&P Supplement</strong> iPad app is now available in Apple's iTunes App Store</a>. The <strong>Blausen A&P Supplement app</strong> is an award winning educational resource tool that helps students learn complex science concepts at the highest level. This rich media asset (RMA) app is specifically designed to be used in conjunction with textbooks from authors: Martini, Saladin, Tortora, Marieb and Seeley-Stephens-Tate.  <strong>The Blausen A&P Supplement</strong> app contains approximately 1,000 3D animations, with accompanying narration and illustrations, organized in the same 29 chapter pedagogy as the most widely used textbooks. It can, however, be used as an excellent learning resource with ANY A&P textbook.</p>

<p>The app is ideal for premed, nursing, allied health and bioscience students. Unlike other A&P apps, it does NOT replace the textbook, but instead complements it. It does NOT contain extensive text.</p>

<p>The <strong>Blausen A&P Supplement</strong> app was developed in part by graduates of The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, The University of Illinois, and The University of Texas.  It was derived from the world's largest 3D medical animation library and is unparalleled in its depth and breadth of content. The app takes maximum advantage of the iPad's higher resolution and larger screen to provide students and professors a lavish, dynamic visual environment in which to engage and learn.</p>

<p>Commenting on the new app Bruce Blausen, Founder and CEO, said "For years students have struggled through learning the sometimes very complex concepts presented in the A&P curriculum. Now with our <strong>A&P Supplement</strong> app, they will have a way to bring each body system alive to accelerate and reinforce their comprehension of skeletal muscle contraction, heart conduction, nerve impulse and all the other concepts. Importantly, this lavish rich media content is presented in the same 29 chapter pedagogy as the textbooks they will be using, so they will be able to track directly to and with their textbooks."</p>

<p><strong>In addition to the approximately 1,000 3D animation videos, the <strong>Blausen A&P Supplement</strong> includes:</strong></p>

<p>Searchable medical glossary with approximately 1,850 terms</p>

<p>Detailed illustrations derived from the animations</p>

<p>Multiple choice quizzes after each chapter subject</p>

<p>Drag and Drop labeled illustrations</p>

<p>Over 100 rotatable models</p>

 
<p>The <strong>Blausen A&P Supplement</strong> is a dynamic and engaging learning tool that has no equal. It represents a new way of learning science and, hopefully, will make a difference for those seeking a higher educational level.  The goal of Blausen Medical is to provide students and professors the BEST visual resource in the world.</p>

<p>Houston, February 3, 2012 --- <a href="http://blausen.com/">Blausen Medical Communications</a>, developer and owner of the world's largest 3D medical animations library, will help build awareness of and support for <a href="http://americanheart.org/">American Heart Month</a> by featuring three heart-related Blausen animations on the <a href="http://facebook.com/blausengroup">Blausen Group Facebook page</a> during February. The animations, How the Heart Works, Congestive Heart Failure and Angioplasty, are derived from the Blausen library and show how the heart functions, what occurs during heart failure, and a specialized preventative treatment to prevent further heart problems.</p>
<p>Sponsored by the <a href="http://americanheart.org/">American Heart Association</a>, the <em>American Heart Month</em> campaign began in February 2004 and has grown into a national movement as more women, men, celebrities, healthcare professionals and politicians have joined movement to promote education about heart disease. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), while heart disease and stroke kill one in every 3.7 men, one in 2.4 women lose their lives to heart disease and stroke ? making those the number one and three killers of women. By way of comparison, breast cancer kills one in 29 women.</p> 
<p>Founder and CEO of Houston-based Blausen, Bruce Blausen, said, "Heart disease and stroke are the number one and three killers of women. These are comparatively lesser known threats to women's health, compared to breast cancer and other diseases. By including some of our relevant heart-related animations on our Blausen Group Facebook page, we hope to make more people aware and encourage them to participate in the <em>American Heart Month</em> Go Red For Women activities."</p>

<h3 align="center">Three Web Health Awards, Two eHealth Leadership Awards and an ABBY win reflect continuing recognition of Blausen content, web and mobile applications.</h3>
<p>Houston, January 20, 2012 --- 2011 was a record-setting year for <a href="http://www.blausen.com/home">Blausen Medical</a> Communications, developer and owner of the world’s largest library of 3D medical animations. The Company won six major international medical communications awards, one more than its previous yearly high. The awards included three <a href="http://blausen.com/news/259?blausen-human-atlas-ipad-app-wins-bronze-in-summerfall-2011-web-health-awards">Web Health Awards</a>, two <a href="http://blausen.com/news/260?blausen-contimues-win-streak-with-two-platinum-awards-at-15th-annual-ehealthcare-leadership-competition">zeHealth Leadership Awards</a> and the prestigious <a href="http://blausen.com/news/256?blausen-wins-abby-award-at-13th-annual-innovations-in-healthcare-competition">ABBY Award</a>.  </p>
<p>The annual Web Health Awards program recognizes the nation's best digital health communication resources and providers. Blausen Human Atlas iPad and iPhone apps were recognized among more than 500 entries and judged by a panel of distinguished experts in digital health media. </p>
<p>The eHealthcare Leadership Awards program reviews the very best websites of healthcare organizations (both large and small), online health companies, pharmaceutical/medical equipment firms, suppliers and business improvement initiatives. The Blausen awards recognized the Company’s excellence in both web use and mobile communication apps.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.abl.org/">Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL) Organization</a> recognized Blausen Medical and its Human Atlas iPhone and iPad apps, as one of only four international winners of the Organization's 2011 ABBY Awards. The ABBY’s honor companies which have developed ways to lower the cost of providing quality healthcare through medical or information technologies, or innovative approaches to the delivery of healthcare.</p>
<p>"The year 2011 was almost an embarrassment of riches in the number and quality of awards we won for our content, applications and, in the case of the ABBY, the actual cost saving benefits we deliver," said Bruce Blausen, Founder and CEO of Houston-based Blausen. "While we are not in this for the awards, it is nice to see the industry professionals judging these events recognize our Blausen efforts. We are, however, not resting on these laurels, but actually have several major development initiatives coming out this year, which I believe will have major impact in healthcare and scientific education categories." </p>

<p>Houston, January 6, 2012 --- Recognizing January as <a href="http://glaucoma.org/news/glaucoma-awareness-month.php"><em>National Glaucoma Awareness Month</em></a>, <a href="http://blausen.com/company">Blausen Medical Communications</a>, developer and owner of the world's largest library of 3D medical animations, is featuring two glaucoma-related animations on its <a href="http://www.facebook.com/blausengroup">Blausen Group Facebook</a> page during the month. The two animations, Glaucoma and Glaucoma Drugs, are derived from the Blausen library. They explain the general anatomy of the eye, how glaucoma occurs, and what medication may be used to treat this condition.</p>
<p><em>National Glaucoma Awareness Month</em> is supported directly by the <a href="http://glaucoma.org/about/">Glaucoma Research Foundation</a>, a national non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for glaucoma. Founded in 1978 in San Francisco, the Foundation funds glaucoma research world-wide. Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness. It is estimated that over 2.2 million Americans have glaucoma, but only half of those know they have it.</p> 
<p>Commenting on National Glaucoma Awareness Month and the month-long addition of related animations to the Blausen Group Facebook page, Bruce Blausen, Founder and CEO of Houston-based Blausen, said, "Glaucoma is a stealthy disease that may exhibit no symptoms to warn someone who has it, or is developing it. While there is no cure for it and vision lost cannot be regained, with medication and/or surgery, it is possible to halt further loss of vision. That's why awareness and regular eye examinations are so necessary. We believe we are doing our small part to further the awareness part of that by featuring our glaucoma animations on our Facebook page."</p>

<h3 align="center"><em>World   AIDS Campaign </em>and<em> World AIDS Day</em>Recognized   with AIDS-Related Animation on Blausen   Medical Communications Facebook Page</h3>

<p>Houston,   December 1, 2011 --- In recognition and support of the <em>World AIDS Campaign </em>and December 1 <em>World AIDS Day,</em> <strong>Blausen Medical Communications</strong>, developer   and owner of the world&rsquo;s largest library of medical animations, will feature a   3D video animation explaining AIDS on its <strong>Blausen Group</strong> Facebook page during   December. The animation, one of over 300 in the Blausen library, explains how   AIDS develops within and affects the body&rsquo;s immune   system.</p>
<p>The <em><a href="http://worldaidscampaign.org/" target="_blank">World AIDS   Campaign</a></em> goal is to insure that governments and policy makers   meet the HIV targets they set, the commitments they make, and mobilize the   necessary resources for a world where people do not die of AIDS and other   opportunistic infections. The Campaign collaborates with a diverse range of   communities, organizations and most affected populations, including, but not   limited to people living with HIV, sex workers, homosexuals, drug users, and   others. Presently, over 33 million are living with AIDS worldwide, 1.1 million   of them in the United   States.</p>
<p>The United States supports a   wide range of activities-from research and development to technical assistance   and financial support to other nations-to combat the global HIV/AIDS pandemic,   including President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief <a href="http://aids.gov/federal-resources/around-the-world/pepfar/index.html" target="_blank">PEPFAR</a> and other <a href="http://aids.gov/federal-resources/around-the-world/us-government-global-aids-activitites/index.html" target="_blank">U.S.   government global HIV/AIDS activities</a> .</p>
<p>Bruce Blausen,   Founder and CEO of Houston-based Blausen, said, &ldquo;According to the prestigious   Kaiser Family Foundation, someone in the world dies from AIDS/HIV every 9 &frac12; minutes. Although overwhelmingly concentrated in geographies outside the   United   States, it is terrible disease and one for   which appropriately strong prevention and treatment efforts are being   undertaken. Given our Company&rsquo;s mission to alleviate fears and concerns of   patients worldwide, we felt that sharing our AIDS animation this December was   very appropriate.&rdquo;</p>

This group is made up of nominees from some of the most affected   populations. The World AIDS Campaign&rsquo;s relationship with the Global Network of   People living with HIV (GNP+) is also of major strategic importance. The   epidemic disproportionally affects the people of Sub-Saharan Africa and much of   the developing world, therefore the organization commits the majority of its   resources to those regions.</p>

<p>Houston, November 15, 2011 --- <a href="http://www.blausen.com/home">Blausen Medical</a>, developer and owner of the world's largest library of 3D medical animations, was honored as a leader in providing internet excellence for clients at the 15th Annual Healthcare Internet Conference November 7-9 in Orlando, Florida.

The awards highlight the Internet's role in achieving an organization's business objectives and recognize the expertise and effort that goes into creating outstanding health websites.</p>
<p>The two eHealthcare awards follow the earlier November Bronze win Blausen garnered for its Human Atlas iPad app in the 13th Annual Web Health Awards competition. Bruce Blausen, Founder and CEO of Houston-based Blausen commented, "We're very pleased to have our work recognized among some of the most prestigious organizations and their websites in the world. My belief has always been that rich media in the form of animations and creative use of interactivity dramatically increases a website's, and for that matter a mobile application's, effectiveness. The continuing award-winning recognition our content receives reflects the growing importance of rich media within the healthcare communications, and the Blausen leadership place within it.</p>
